Into The Final Abyss (Acrostic)




Indifference of life is all that was tasted
Narrating in stone, an existence wasted
Tranquillizing all obscene earthly woes
Obsessively awaiting on death’s throes


Transfiguring flesh into silvery dust
Handprints of the soul tarnish in disgust

Eclipsing the memories of distrust


Finishing days devoid of past distress

Illuminating destinations expressionless
Nakedly forgetting earlier discontents
Abolishing all those previous torments
Languishing alone in the tomb of laments


Absurd longings, welcoming infinite rest
Blame and remorse repose suppressed

Yearning thoughts eternally repressed

Sacramental resolutions find its ends

Slumbering in the final abyss, death transcends

    Great job on this! Deep and emotional write.

    For some reason, this line really grabs me:
    Handprints of the soul tarnish in disgust

    Love and hugs!
